Becky's Baby Shower...

Last weekend I helped host a baby shower for one of my best friends, Becky. The shower was at The Tea Room in Rogers. It was such a nice setting and the food was delicious. We had a great time celebrating baby Kinley!

First Day of Preschool...

Elyse's first day of preschool was a success!

Ready to go...

Walking in... Look at that smile- she was so excited!

Showing me the science center.

We are so thankful that Elyse enjoys her preschool so much. She has a wonderful group of friends to play and learn with, and a teacher who is kind and caring.

Our Summer in Pictures...

This summer has been so busy and has flown by way too quickly. There are a few things I seem to have forgotten to do much of over the last 2 months...

1. take pictures

2. update the blog

Woops! Well, here are the few pictures that I did actually take this summer...

On a trip to Washington D.C. to attend a conference for school...

Payton's summer consisted of many, many hours of playing Modern Warfare 2 online with his friends...
{I seriously think these boys may need an intervention soon.}

Elyse was a big helper with the garden this year...


She also discovered her love for red Popsicles...

We traveled to St. Louis with Ryan's family to attend John and Beth's baby shower, go to a Cardinals baseball game, and have a Father's Day Brunch at Liz and Keith's house. Here we are at the arch...

Elyse began making this face every time we took a picture...

Payton's AAU team traveled to Virginia Beach for a week and a half to play at Nationals...

Bring It On...

If ya'll know me, then you know I love trashy reality tv.

Right now I am so excited about the premiere of Bachelor Pad on ABC.

Drama, drama, drama!!

It's going to be a hot mess!
